The hip bone's connected to the knee bone ...

Since your entire body is one connected unit, have you ever thought about that knee pain you might be experiencing and how it might be a precursor to a body mechanic problem related to your back or hip. How can you be sure? Try consulting a physical therapist who is trained in evaluating your entire body rather than just the symptom or the direct pain you are experiencing.

This global approach is one of the things that sets Pinnacle Physical Therapy apart. We only hire therapists who have the training and education in treating more than just the symptom; we look for the source of the problem.

Just because your knee hurts, doesn't mean that your knee is your only body part that needs care. Your hip or low back may not be supporting your body correctly which may cause the knee is to be overworked and misused. Our therapists will evaluate and treat the source of the dysfunction that is causing the pain in your knee.

The result? Not only is your knee pain resolved, but more importantly, the source of the problem is fixed. By taking this approach to treating your pain, you will be educated in how your body is functioning. If your symptoms return in the future, Pinnacle's goal is for you to be well equipped to treat your pain or condition with exercises and tools received during your physical therapy.
